Disclaimer- I don't own anything. Except the plot.
A/N I am so happy that you guys liked it. When I first wrote it, I thought that it was a bit rushed. But then I re-read all my other chapters and thought that this was perfect! So many good reviews. Thank you.
-kentukygirl4039- No, no, I wrote it correctly. But I do understand what you are talking about. When I wrote it and read over it, it even made me confused! Lol. But what she is doing is being sarcastic. He is so close to her, she's like…just come a little bit closer…it's not like your taking my personal space already. She meant it like that.
-Mimi- So sorry. I didn't notice that! Ok, I'll make sure I go over every sentence properly before I post. Omg, I can't believe I missed that! And it's a big mistake…oh well; at least the story is not in one giant paragraph where you cant even read it.
-dittoEXcore- He feels bad, because he is in love with her. Number one, we all know that he is a jerk (a sexy one) and could use Pansy whenever he wanted. He slept with her to get back at Hermione for what she did, although it was very harsh. He didn't think he had any sort of feeling towards her until it hit him that he had hurt her bad, he realised his feelings towards her were strong.
Then, when he saw her kiss Harry, it struck him, that in actual fact, he is in love her. But it was clearly confirmed when Blaise said it to him.
Ok, on with the chapter…jeez, I have written the last few chapters 3 days in a row! That's because when I read the reviews the next day, it motivates me to write more!
Chapter eleven: It all went awaywith a kiss
…'That's no excuse! What you did is unforgivable! You have no idea, what its like to see you every day, to kiss you, to touch you and then to see you in bed with another girl and have you call me mudblood trash! I, Malfoy, don't even no why I touched you?'…
…'Why do you care if I kissed him? For you, this is just convenience. I'm nothing more to you. But on my part, I care Malfoy, I CARE!'…
…'I don't care that you kissed Potter!' …
…'Why?' …
…'Why what?' …
…'Why do you care if I kissed Harry?'…
…'Because' ….
…'Because why!' …
…'BECAUSE I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU!'…
Malfoy shot bolt upright and nearly fell off the couch. He was drenched in a cold sweat, as if he had just awoken from a horrible nightmare.
He looked around the room and found that he was in the common room. The events of yesterday slowly seeped into his brain. First, he remembered Hermione kissing Harry, him running out of the Great hall and spending the entire day drinking With Balsie. After that, everything else was a blur. He remembered stumbling into the common room, but that was it. The dream he had was so vivid; it almost felt real.
He got up and headed into the shower. Warm water ran gently down his body as he strained to remember what else happened. Just as he was about to get out of the shower, it hit him like a bludger in the back of the head. The fight that he had with Hermione. All the words and actions came clear into his brain.
…'Why do you care if I kissed him? For you, this is just convenience. I'm nothing more to you. But on my part, I care Malfoy, I CARE!'…
He remembered the dream. The dream? That means-'OH, SHIT!' He yelled in anger. He told her everything. He needed to talk to her.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hermione's alarm went off. She was in no mood to get out of bed today. First of all, it was Saturday. Crap, I have detention tonight with him! Hermione's eyes began to fill with tears as she turned and stared blankly at the wall.
The argument yesterday, she still couldn't believe it. Him, love her? It was crazy. Her feelings for him at his words suddenly had become deeper, and hurt her even more. She was falling for the dark prince of Slytherin. What would Ron say? What would Harry say? Suddenly she shot up out of bed.
'Harry' she said in a low voice. She quickly ran into the bathroom, took a shower and got ready to confront Harry.
All the way down to Gryffindor tower, Hermione's heart was beating so hard it felt as if it was trying to make the great escape.
Shaking, she said the password and walked through. She needed to talk to him and needed to talk to Ginny.
She walked into the common room and sure enough, there was Harry reading a magazine. She would talk to Ginny later.
Harry looked up at her. His heart almost skipping a beat as she spoke.
'Ah, Harry. C-can I please talk to you for a moment…in the hallway' he simply nodded his head and followed her out. She turned to him.
'Look Harry, I just want to say sorry for…for yesterday' at first Harry didn't say anything. He just looked at her while she tried to find what to say.
'Hermione, I am slightly confused' Hermione looked at him 'I mean, first you kiss me, and then you run off crying. What's with that' his voice not soft but not stern.
'Harry, I'm sorry…I didn't mean to. It was just-'
'Sorry? Why would you be sorry for that? I mean I like you…and now I know you like me too' his voice was hopeful. Hermione's eyes widened in alarm. Oh no, no, no, no!
'Harry, I…don't like you…that way' she was shaky. She knew what was coming next; she saw it in his eyes.
'THEN WHY THE BLOODY HELL DID YOU KISS ME FOR?' he bellowed. Hermione winced.
'Harry! There is no need to yell. I don't know why I did it' she lied
'So, here you go, kissing me. Letting me believe that there is something there and you are just kissing me for no reason! I would NEVER EVER think that you, Hermione Granger would do something as selfish as this. Playing with someone's heart' he took a deep breath. Silent tears fell down her face.
'Harry. I didn't…I didn't know you felt that way. I did it because…' she trailed off. She really didn't want to tell him the truth. He and Ron would kill Malfoy.
'What? Why? Why did you do it? You obviously have something that you are not telling me' he snapped, crossing his arms over.
Hermione looked at the ground. Malfoy flooding her mind and visions of Harry and Ron never speaking to her again.
'Harry. Please forgive me. I never meant to hurt you in anyway' Harry rolled his eyes. 'I can't tell you why I did it…because I am not to sure myself. All I ask is for your forgiveness. And if you do, please come to the house party Malfoy and I are throwing tomorrow night. All houses are expected to be there, it will be in the heads dorm' she turned on her heal, leaving Harry to stare after her.
He couldn't help but feel sorry for her. He was still angry with her, but they were best friends and this little thing, would never let them break that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The whole day, Hermione had been trying to avoid Malfoy. She kept herself busy by finishing homework in her room and putting up flyers for the party they were throwing.
Balsie had checked up on Malfoy in the morning and found him lying on his bed wearing nothing but a t-shirt and boxers. Malfoy then told Balsie everything. He couldn't help but grin at the fact of how crazy this situation had got.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That night, Hermione headed to the potions room for her detention. She took a deep breath and entered. Malfoy was already there. But he did not look at her; instead he concentrated on the wall in front.
'Now that the two of you are here. I expect you to be civil with each other' Hermione scoffed at this statement 'Is there something the matter Miss. Granger?' asked Snape smartly. Hermione shook her head as he continued 'you two will be re-organising the supply cupboard and cleaning the desks. Any questions? Good' he gave a harsh look and stormed out of the room 'I will be back in 2 hrs to see how you are going'.
Hermione stood there for a moment and glared at Malfoy's back. Her stomach filling with butterflies. She rolled her eyes and went to the cupboard. She opened it and went to the back shelf. She looked up and down it. Viles and packages and things that looked nasty awaited her. She lifted her arms up and began to pull things down, when a tingle erupted from her body. She stopped and turned around.
'We need to talk' were Malfoy's first words. Hermione looked at him. His eyes, they were full of…what's this? Fear? Hermione crossed her arms over.
'We…don't need to do anything' she said sternly and pushed past him. He grabbed her elbow, bringing her back to him.
'I don't think you understand Granger. We need to talk' he sneered. Hermione pulled her arm away from him.
'And say what huh? What are you going to say? That you're sorry for what you did to hurt me, in the most horrible way? Or that you hate me? That I deserved it? Or…or that you love me?' she said the last part in a low voice. Malfoy looked up from the ground at the words. He looked at her piercing gaze.
Her words, her mention of love shook him. He slowly walked towards her, but she put her arm up to his chest and stopped him.
'No you don't. Don't you dare think that for one minute, something like that can change how I feel right now? You have no idea how much you hurt me. When I saw you with her, it hit me. That I…I have feelings towards you…' tears flowing as she said this. Her words tore him. '…That made it even worse. For me, the very thing you are against and you, the very thing I am against to have feelings? Then, you have the nerve to say I should be sorry? Think about what you did, then compare it to mine and see which is worse' her breathing coming short. She was fuming with him, with herself.
Her looked at her tear stained face and finally spoke.
'Look. I'm sorry. But what I did still doesn't change that fact that you kissed Potter' Hermione looked at him in a you've-got-to-be-kidding-me look.
'What you did was worse! I kissed him, so you would know exactly how I felt when I walked in on you and that whore!' she screamed
'WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY? I'M SORRY! I'M BLOODY SORRY!' he bellowed. Hermione took a step back.
'Oh, no you don't. I will not forgive you that easily. Your words mean nothing to me anymore, because you don't mean them'
'I did mean it! I meant what I said to you last night!' he screamed before he could stop himself. Hermione's eyes softened for a second. He truly did love her.
'No! No you don't! You would never love me! A mudblood? You never even care about me, let alone love' she stepped closer to him. 'You cant just go throwing around a meaningful word like that just to get me back in bed. But me on the other hand, I will say how I truly feel…' she paused for a second and looked at him. His gaze clouded over with emotion she never thought possible in him.
'… I, Malfoy have developed deep feelings for you. When you kiss me, when you touch me…it's the most amazing thing I have ever felt in my whole life. That night I caught you; I was coming to talk to you about this and to apologize for physically hurting you. I hurt you that day because you were getting to me. I got scared. But when I walked in, it hit me hard. It crushed me deep. I was so hurt I sought out and I might add, a very immature thing to do…Harry. I wanted you to feel pain. Then, you tell me you love me? I don't even know what to say to that. How do I even know if your feelings a true? How do I know that you're not playing around with me in a sick game? Huh? Tell me?' she finished, she was now crying heavily.
Malfoy looked at her in whole new light. She was so full of emotion. She had feelings for him and it seemed that with every word she said, it dug deeper and deeper. He became angry that she would refuse to believe that he did care.
'I am not playing games! You want to now how I truly feel? I'LL SHOW YOU!' he grabbed her face and pulled her in, instantly smashing his mouth onto hers in a kiss so strong, so passionate words could not describe. All Hermione's thoughts flew out the window. She didn't care. She wanted him and he proved he wanted her.
She wrapped her hands around his waist pulling him closer, while he had his hands on her cheeks. Tongues caressing each other, Hermione was crying from all these feelings exploding in her body into the kisses as they heated up. They kissed for what felt like forever and he pulled away, both breathing hard, staring into her teary eyes.
'That's how I feel' he said in barely a whisper. Hermione's insides were jumping around. All her anger towards him had been wiped clean in that one kiss. Yes, he did a horrible thing. Yes, he didn't deserve her forgiveness. But she didn't care anymore.
Hermione Granger. Was in love, with Draco Malfoy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So there they were, entering their common room after an emotionally filled detention.
Malfoy turned to Hermione and looked deep into her eyes. He didn't need to say anything. He simply leant in and kissed her, slowly and passionately. She broke the kiss, took his hand and pulled him up the stairs to his room.
--------------------------------------------------
A/N aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh! I know you are gonna be pissed, but I had to do it! it makes it oh, so much better! So sorry to do it to you. Anyways, did you like it? I know that some of you are like 'why the hell did she forgive him?' but she realised her feelings. You can't hate the person you feel deeply for.
